SPECIAL SEGMENT NOTES
No special Segment this week
MAIN TOPIC
Star Trek Discovery
It's a very pretty show. They filmed it with a very cinematic style. It looks like a high budget movie.
Unfortunately, they fell into the lens flair trap, and by making look and feel like a movie, they stepped all over their own writing with weak dialogue and poorly contrived "hero moments".
The props where very good. The sets looked like movie sets. They look great, but the lighting is dark and dramatic while the set accents are bright and flashy. This isn't bad, but is isn't really what you'd expect from a TV show. It reminds me of the TNG movies.
The sound FX are almsot perfect. They do an excellent job mixing TOS and TNG sounds with new effects. Some things feel a little off, but again, it feels off as if they are filming this more as a big budget film. A lot of flashy sounds and effects.
The overall writing was poor. The make-up for the Klingons is terrible, but all the other races seemed to be very well done. Again, movie quality.
The storyline was weak. The Klingon culture stuff was fine, other than it just doesn't feel "Klingon". They would have been better off either saying it was a different race, or just tweaking the TNG/DS9 make-up effects for the new style show.
The actors did a C+ job. Some of the alien actors, including the Klingons, did a wonderfully. The two main actors of the first two episodes did not. It was over acted and felt forced. Not sure if it's the casting or the writing. There where flashes of good acting, but in total, it was sub-par.
The biggest disappointment is the missed opportunity to really relaunch the TV franchise. It's going to be almost impossible to justify paying even $6.00 a month to watch this show AND still have to put up with commercials, and there is no way I'd pay $10 a month just to watch this show without commercials.
If it where a Netflix release in the US I'd be happy to continue to watch the show and see if they get better. TNG wasn't all that good at the start, and other than the Klingon BS, this wasn't as bad as Encounter at Farpoint.

Tue, 26 May 2015 20:48:07 +0000http://geekfeedshow.com/?p=1745The Muppets on ABC
ABC’s pilot presentation—which the network is considering for a straight-to-series order—follows Jim Henson’s iconic characters behind the scenes as they launch a new TV show. The presentation from Big Bang Theory co-creator Bill Prady and Anger Management writer-producer Bob Kushell is described as having a 30 Rock feel. The series will be shot mock-documentary style, like Arrested Development and The Office.
Even more interesting: In what’s being billed as a first for The Muppets, the personal lives of the characters will be explored. ABC’s official new logline reads: “The Muppets return to prime time with a contemporary, documentary-style show that—for the first time ever—will explore the Muppets’ personal lives and relationships, both at home and at work, as well as romances, break-ups, achievements, disappointments, wants and desires; a more adult Muppet show, for kids of all ages.”

Fuller House
It’s official –“Full House” will return to television for a 13-episode sequel on Netflix in 2016, the streaming service confirmed.
John Stamos, who played Uncle Jesse on the popular family sitcom, broke the news Monday night on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
Called “Fuller House,” the revival series will focus on Candace Cameron Bure’s character, D.J. Tanner, who is a recently widowed and pregnant veterinarian. Her younger sister and aspiring musician Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweetin) and her childhood best friend, Kimmy Gibbler, (Andrea Barber), along with Gibbler’s feisty teenage daughter Ramona, move in to help D.J. raise her two sons — rebellious 12-year-old J.D. and neurotic 7-year-old Max — and soon-to-arrive baby.

Galaxy Quest TV Show
“Galaxy Quest,” the 1999 sci-fi comedy that parodied “Star Trek” and other classic TV shows, is itself heading to television.
Deadline reports Paramount Television has begun work on the project, with Robert Gordon expected to return to write as well as executive produce with the film’s director Dean Parisot and producer Mark Johnson.
The film starred Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell and Daryl Mitchell as the cast of the long-canceled “Galaxy Quest,” who become reluctant heroes when an alien race in need mistakes the sci-fi series for a historical documentary.
Financially successful and critically acclaimed at the time of its release (it even won a Hugo Award), “Galaxy Quest” has developed a cult following over the past 16 years, particularly among “Star Trek” fans.

The Little Prince
Remember The Little Prince, that classic children’s novel about a star-voyaging royal who meets a crashed pilot that taught generations of young Americans how to read French? Well, it’s a got a modern retelling in a new animated film starring the voices of Jeff Bridges, Rachel McAdams, Paul Rudd, Marion Cotillard, Benicio del Toro, James Franco, Ricky Gervais, Paul Giamatti, Albert Brooks and Mackenzie Foy. Directed by Kung Fu Panda‘s Mark Osborne, the movie will hit France on July 29th, with U.S. engagements to follow. Here’s the latest international trailer.

The film starred Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell and Daryl Mitchell as the cast of the long-canceled “Galaxy Quest,” who become reluctant heroes when an alien race in need mistakes the sci-fi series for a historical documentary.

Financially successful and critically acclaimed at the time of its release (it even won a Hugo Award), “Galaxy Quest” has developed a cult following over the past 16 years, particularly among “Star Trek” fans.

Remember The Little Prince, that classic children’s novel about a star-voyaging royal who meets a crashed pilot that taught generations of young Americans how to read French? Well, it’s a got a modern retelling in a new animated film starring the voices of Jeff Bridges, Rachel McAdams, Paul Rudd, Marion Cotillard, Benicio del Toro, James Franco, Ricky Gervais, Paul Giamatti, Albert Brooks and Mackenzie Foy. Directed by Kung Fu Panda‘s Mark Osborne, the movie will hit France on July 29th, with U.S. engagements to follow.]]>Studio Temboclean1:09:34

Tue, 26 May 2015 20:45:11 +0000http://geekfeedshow.com/?p=1755Will Robot Cars Need Windows?
The Atlantic has an article asking whether autonomous cars need windows. If there's no driver, will the passengers want to look outside? In the summer, will anyone want to endure the relentless heat from the sun? The robot cars offer us a great opportunity to rethink the platform which is largely devoted to supporting the driver. But if a computer is in charge and it sees with dozens of cameras ringing the car, what else can we change? What else don't we need? What can improve?
California Gets Past the Yuck Factor With "Toilet To Tap" Water Recycling
From a marketing point of view, using treated sewage to create drinking water is a proposition that has proved difficult to sell to customers. Now John Schwartz writes in the NYT that as California scrambles for ways to cope with its crippling drought and the mandatory water restrictions imposed last month by Gov. Jerry Brown, enticing people to drink recycled water is requiring California residents to get past what experts call the "yuck" factor. Efforts in the 1990s to develop water reuse in San Diego and Los Angeles were beaten back by activists who denounced what they called, devastatingly, "toilet to tap." Orange County swung people to the idea of drinking recycled water with a special purification plant which has been operating since 2008 avoiding a backlash with a massive public relations campaign that involved more than 2,000 community presentations. The county does not run its purified water directly into drinking water treatment plants; instead, it sends the water underground to replenish the area's aquifers and to be diluted by the natural water supply. This environmental buffer seems to provide an emotional buffer for consumers as well.
In 2000, Los Angeles actually completed a sewage reclamation plant capable of providing water to 120,000 homes — the Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant in Van Nuys.The plan was abandoned after public outrage. Angelenos, it seemed, were too good to drink perfectly safe recycled water — dismissed as "toilet to tap." But Los Angeles is ready to try again, with plans to provide a quarter of the city's needs by 2024 with recycled water and captured storm water routed through aquifers. "The difference between this and 2000 is everyone wants this to happen," says Marty Adams. The inevitable squeamishness over drinking water that was once waste ignores a fundamental fact, says George Tchobanoglous: "When it comes down to it, water is water. Everyone who lives downstream on a river is drinking recycled water."
The Simpsons were just renewed for their 27 and 28th seasons. What shenanigans will they get into next?

Rocky Horror Remake…for TV
The idea of trying to re-create The Rocky Horror Picture Show for network television pretty much sounds like the worst idea ever, and yet…Fox.
While there is nothing inherently wrong with re-staging the musical the idea of doing it for network TV seems ridiculous–this is a musical about an alien transvestite mad scientist who creates a muscle man to be his sex slave and then seduces the wholesome hetero couple who get stranded in his castle.
Yeah…that’s kid friendly.

Thu, 26 Mar 2015 03:20:04 +0000http://geekfeedshow.com/?p=1731Sir Terence David John "Terry" Pratchett was an English author of fantasy novels, especially comical works. He is best known for his Discworld series of about 40 volumes. Pratchett's first novel, The Carpet People, was published in 1971, and since his first Discworld novel, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983, he wrote two books a year on average.
In December 2007, Pratchett announced that he was suffering from early-onset Alzheimer's disease. He later made a substantial public donation to the Alzheimer's Research Trust and filmed a television programme chronicling his experiences with the disease for the BBC. Pratchett died on 12 March 2015, aged 66.

5 essential Terry Pratchett novels you need to read
(originally written by By: Kelly Lawler for USA Today)
5. MORT
Mort is one of Pratchett’s novels that’s focused on the character of Death, who recurs throughout many of the Discworld books and whose voice is so ominous it must be displayed in all caps. It is this character that Pratchett’s official twitter referred to when announcing his death.
4. THE WEE FREE MEN
Pratchett managed to make Discworld large enough to include several novels for children, including this one, which follows the nine-year-old witch Tiffany Aching and the tiny blue men she has adventures with.
3. GOOD OMENS
While Pratchett wrote many, many Discworld novels, he also managed quite a few set outside the flat disc, including this one with Neil Gaiman. One of his most famous works, it’s a comedy about the birth of Satan’s son and the coming apocalypse, with the wit and wisdom that only Pratchett and fellow champion fantasy author Gaiman could bring.
2. THE COLOR OF MAGIC
The Color of Magic, an early novel of Discworld and still one of the best, follows the adventures of incompetent wizard Rincewind and a tourist named Twoflower. It has also been made into a TV movie starring Tim Curry.
1. GOING POSTAL
Our favorite of Pratchett’s novels, Going Postal follows a con man as he attempts to revitalize the post office in Discworld’s premiere city of Ankh-Morpork (a place where stamps are not yet a thing). The novel is incredibly funny and also stands alone enough to be an excellent entry point into the series for anyone. And really, once you see what Pratchett can do with a story about the post office, it’s clear how hilarious and poignant his writing truly is.Sir Terence David John "Terry" Pratchett was an English author of fantasy novels, especially comical works. He is best known for his Discworld series of about 40 volumes.

Wed, 18 Mar 2015 17:55:17 +0000http://geekfeedshow.com/?p=1688We take a, not so well organized stroll through Leonard Nimoy's career and lament his passing. Sarah tries not to choke up, and I just try to read my notes.
Leonard Nimoy was an American actor, film director, photographer, author, poet, singer and songwriter. He was known for his role as Mr. Spock of the Star Trek franchise.
Nimoy began his career in his early twenties, teaching acting classes in Hollywood and making minor film and television appearances through the 1950s, as well as playing the title role in Kid Monk Baroni. Foreshadowing his fame as a semi-alien, he played Narab, one of three Martian invaders in the 1952 movie serial Zombies of the Stratosphere.
In 1965, he made his first appearance in the rejected Star Trek pilot "The Cage", and went on to play the character of Spock until 1969, followed by eight feature films and guest slots in the various spin-off series. The character has had a significant cultural impact and garnered Nimoy three Emmy Award nominations; TV Guide named Spock one of the 50 greatest TV characters.[3][4] After the original Star Trek series, Nimoy starred in Mission: Impossible for two seasons, hosted the documentary series In Search of..., narrated Civilization IV, and made several well-received stage appearances. He also had a recurring role in the science fiction seriesFringe.
Nimoy's fame as Spock was such that both of his autobiographies, I Am Not Spock (1975) and I Am Spock (1995), were written from the viewpoint of sharing his existence with the character. Nimoy has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
In February 2014, Nimoy revealed publicly that he had been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a condition he attributed to a smoking habit he had given up about 30 years earlier. On February 19, 2015, having been in and out of hospitals for the past several months, Nimoy was taken to UCLA Medical Center for chest pains.
Nimoy died of complications of COPD on February 27, 2015, at the age of 83, in his Bel Air home. He was survived by his wife; two children; six grandchildren; a great-grandchild; and his elder brother, Melvin. A few days before his death, Nimoy shared some of his poetry on social media website Twitter: "A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory.LLAP".
Nimoy's remains were buried during a funeral service in Los Angeles on March 1, 2015. The service was attended by nearly 300 family members, friends and former co-stars, including Shatner's daughters, Zachary Quinto, Chris Pine and J. J. Abrams.

Mon, 04 Aug 2014 06:01:29 +0000http://irnerdivore.com/?p=1470Derek, Laura and I talk about our thoughts on Guardians of the Galaxy. Below is full synopsis of the movie: MANY SPOILERS
In the opening scene, Young Peter Quill sits in the waiting room of a hospital, listening to the Awesome Mix tape on his Walkman as his grandpa comes out and gets him so he can say goodbye to his mom. His dying mom gives him a present and tells him he's just like his father. She asks for his hand, but hes too scared to take it. Just then, she dies. The distraught Peter runs outside and is abducted by a spaceship.
26 years later on the planet Morag, an adult Peter Quill A.K.A. The Starlord (Chris Pratt) is searching for a mysterious Orb. He finds it as Korath (Djimon Hounsou) and his henchmen find Peter. After a shootout, Peter Quill escapes and returns to his ship, the Milano.
His partner/mentor Yondu (Michael Rooker) calls and tells him to give him the orb. Quill decides he's going to sell it on his own.
On the Kree Warship, the Dark Aster, Korath reports to Ronan (Lee Pace) that he failed in getting the Orb and that it's in the hands of Quill. Ronan sends assassin Nebula (Karen Gillan) after him, but before she can go, Gamora (Zoe Saldana) volunteers instead.
On the planet Xandar, Quill takes the Orb to a buyer and asks what it is because Ronan's goons were after it too. The buyer suddenly doesn't want anything to do with it and kicks Peter out of his shop. Outside, Gamora jumps Peter and tries to retrieve the Orb herself. Nearby, Rocket Raccoon (voice of Bradley Cooper) and Groot (Vin Diesel) see there's a bounty on Quills head, so they join in the fight. Its not too long before they're all arrested by Nova HQ and sent to a space prison called The Kyln. (Note: Stan Lee has a cameo appearance as an old man on Xandar, chatting up a young lady.)
Pretty much everyone in prison wants to kill Gamora because she's the daughter of Thanos. Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista) has a personal vendetta against her because Ronin killed his wife and daughter, so he wants to avenge them by taking the life of one of his family members in return. Gamora explains that shes also against Ronin and was planning on double crossing him. Quill steps in and helps argue in Gamora's favor.
At Sanctuary, Ronin reports to Thanos (Josh Brolin) that Gamora is a traitor. Thanos tells him to take care of her and get the Orb. He also notes that Gamora is his favorite daughter, which pisses of Nebula (his other daughter).
Gamora has a plan to sell the Orb to someone else. Quill, Rocket and Groot agree to help and split the reward. Rocket has a plan to escape the prison. He needs one of the guards wrist devices, a prisoners prosthetic leg and a battery from a tall column in the prison. As he explains that its very important to take the battery last, Groot grabs it first. The alarms go off and security droids fly in. Gamora goes to get a wrist device as Quill negotiates the prisoners leg. Drax decides to join in the escape too realizing that eventually Ronin will go after Gamora and then he can kill Ronin himself.
Everyone gets the stuff they need and make it to a guard station near the top of the prison. Rocket is surprised that Quill actually got the leg and says he didn't really need it. It was a joke. Rocket rigs up the stuff to turn off the gravity in the prison and to use the security droids as jets to fly the guard station out of the prison. They escape, but Quill goes back and gets his walkman from one of the guards.
Yondu goes to his broker and finds out Quill still has the Orb.
Everyone on Quills ship gets to know one another better. They don't like each other at all. Soon they arrive at Nowhere (the head of a giant being) to meet with the collector. While they wait for their appointment, Drax, Rocket and Groot get drunk and gamble. Gamora and Quill bond over music. He explains that his mom made him the mix tape of her favorite songs. She listens and likes it. He asks her to dance, but she doesn't.Derek, Laura and I talk about our thoughts on Guardians of the Galaxy.

Anyway…Today we are going to talk about
Misery (1990)
The Book:Misery - Stephen King (1988)
Why It's Better: King and Reiner reunited for this story of an author imprisoned by a crazed fan, and the decision to chop much of the book's gore made it less mindless horror, more psychological thriller.
King's characters came film-ready, and Kathy Bates's blood-curdling portrayal of Annie Wilkes impressed (and terrified) enough to win her a Best Actress Academy Award.
Full Metal Jacket (1987)
The Book:The Short-Timers - Gustav Hasford (1979)
Why It's Better: The book might be nothing short of brilliant, but Kubrick’s decision to chop huge chunks from the final two sections of Hasford’s The Short-Timers gave it a well-needed tidying up.
Kubrick also encouraged R. Lee Ermey to improvise his own insults, giving us gems such as “Were you born a fat, slimy, scumbag puke piece o' shit, Private Pyle, or did you have to work on it?”
Casino Royale (2006)
The Book:Casino Royale - Ian Fleming (1953)
Why It's Better: Of all the Bond films, many believe that only Casino Royale does the original text justice.
Martin Campbell’s rebooting of the franchise hit audiences like a swift kick to the chest, and the movie is perhaps the only one to not just capture the essence of Fleming’s Bond, but maybe even improve on it.
The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy (2001 - 2003)
The Book: The Lord Of The Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien (1954)
Why It's Better: JUST HEAR US OUT.
Now we're not suggesting that the LOTR trilogy is necessarily better than Tolkien's masterpiece, but we couldn't leave three such magnificent book-to-film adaptations off this list - if this timeless classic was going to be recreated for the big screen, who better for the job than a team of self-confessed Tolkien nuts?
By dividing the book into three sweeping films, Peter Jackson was able to delve deep into Middle Earth without neglecting vital details; the movies are a veritable love letter to the master of fantasy fiction.
Dr. Strangelove (1964)
The Book: RedAlert - Peter George (1958)
Why It's Better: Kubrick originally intended Dr. Strangelove to be a thriller, like its source material Red Alert, but quickly realised he couldn't ignore the absurd humour integral to the idea of "mutual assured destruction".
What resulted was a laugh-out-loud movie that Rogert Ebert called "arguably the best political satire of the century".
Jaws (1975)
The Book:Jaws - Peter Benchley (1974)
Why It's Better: Benchley's novel had great commercial success, staying in the bestseller lists for weeks, but the one thing it lacks is staying power. You hear the word Jaws now and you don't just don't think book. You think Spielberg, "I think we're gonna need a bigger boat" and the duuuuuh-dum soundtrack.

Today's Topic
Today we do things a little different. In preparation for some upcoming interviews, and because I am a fan of "Inside the Actors Studio", I decided to just have a very free and open discussion without much in the way of a topic. And, just to spice it up a little, I ran Eric and Laura through the "Actor's Studio" questionnaire, and had a few extras to boot.
This episode was a fair bit of fun, but it was recorded really late, and we were all super excited about going to see Floggin Molly the next night, so our minds are a little like jelly.

News RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman: The extremely talented actor died of an apparent OD. His loss made headlines all over the world.

Nerd(ish) News
Steam-Machine "Box"
"Following a tweet from the developer of Maia (a cross platform game soon to hit Steam) that Linux was bringing him more game sales than OS X. Gaming On Linux decided to investigate further by reaching out to multiple developers for platform sales statistics. Although the findings and developer comments show Linux sales to still be sitting in third place, behind those of OS X and Windows, they are showing promise. Developer feedback certainly appears to be positive about the platform's future. With Steam OS on its way, surely leading to more big title releases making their way to the Linux platform, could Linux gaming be set to take the number two spot from Apple?"

Pro-Gamer Visa
"The world's first professional StarCraft II gamer has been granted a five-year pro athlete visa for the United States, making Kim 'viOLet' Dong Hwan the first of his kind. viOLet was one of the first gamers to apply for the P-1A visa when they were introduced in July. The new paperwork doesn't mean that he can live permanently in the U.S., but it does mean he'll be treated like other (more traditional) athletes, able to easily enter the country temporarily to participate in tournaments."

Superman/Batman
Warner Bros. announced in a press release that it has cast Jesse Eisenberg as Superman’s nemesis Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons as Batman’s trusty butler Alfred.
Could be good...could be really, really bad.
Lego Awesomeness
Yesterday, Lego announced that the Fall 2013 Cuusoo finalist to be released later this year will be a Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary set. The design hasn’t been finalized yet, but it looks like it will include the Ecto 1 and mini-figures of Peter, Ray, Egon and Winston
"Leave it to Bieber"
So,on the White House Petitions site, a petition to have Justin Bieber deported has reached 223,548 signatures. I find this news worthly on a lot of levels, but none the least of which is that it was started by someone in Detroit! AND, because it has passed the 100,000 signature mark, the White House must repond to it! The petition closes on February 22, 2014...so get your names on it and have your voice heard! Also...there is a petition NOT to deport the welp...but it is not doing so well as it only has 5,715 signature...that’s less than the SECOND Deport "the Bieb" petition that has more than 27,000.
Here is a link to the The Deport Bieber Petition
Our Geek Visa Petition (I should not have said I would make this one)!
Discussion
We try to take a quick stab at defining what a geek is, and how it can relate to being "mainstream".
In the end though, no matter how you define geek, you need to remember that the spirit of Geekdom is never to judge, or strive to conform to someone elses judgments.
We also talk a little about author Matt Thyer. You can see his website here: http://feetforbrains.com/
I got this video from Matt's website:Here it is, the very first ever episode of the IRNerdivore Podcast, the offical podcast of the IRNerdivore network and Geek Fan Expo!
